Why choose RRS racing gloves, boots and fire-resistant underwear?

11 Oct 26 @Dave

In motorsport, your equipment needs to earn its place. It needs to fit properly, feel right and perform when the competition starts. Whether you're tackling a forest rally stage, chasing lap times on circuit, competing in autograss or preparing for a full season of club motorsport, the equipment you wear is part of your preparation.

At Race Rally Supplies, we believe choosing racewear should be about more than buying a familiar logo. It's about understanding the product, the people behind it, the features that matter and the value you're getting for your money.

That's why we're proud to offer the RRS range of racing gloves, driving boots and fire-resistant underwear.

Behind the brand is Emmanuel Guigou, a French champion rally driver who owns RRS Rally Racing Sport and actively guides its design department. His competition experience helps inform the development of racewear intended for the realities of motorsport.

For us, that is an important distinction. RRS combines specialist motorsport heritage with a considered product range, giving UK competitors another credible option alongside established international brands.

Premium racewear isn't simply about paying more. It's about the thought behind the product, the quality of its execution and the features that justify your investment.

Designed with competition in mind

There is no shortage of choice when it comes to motorsport clothing. OMP, Sparco and Alpinestars are established names, with extensive ranges covering everything from entry-level competition equipment to more advanced racewear.

But an established name shouldn't be the only factor in your decision.

RRS Rally Racing Sport is a specialist motorsport equipment manufacturer with its own product range, including accessible ONE products and more advanced PROLIGHT equipment.

The philosophy behind the range is straightforward: racewear needs to work for the people who wear it.

A rally driver may spend hours in the cockpit, dealing with changing conditions and repeated steering inputs. A circuit racer needs comfort and control over multiple sessions. A co-driver has different priorities, while a club competitor may be balancing equipment purchases against entry fees, fuel and car preparation.

These are the realities that make product development important.

At Race Rally Supplies, we bring RRS equipment to UK competitors who want to compare products on their features, specifications and value rather than buying on brand recognition alone.

RRS racing gloves: grip, feel and control

Your gloves are one of your most direct connections with the car. Steering feedback, grip, dexterity and comfort all matter when you're working the wheel through a demanding stage or concentrating on a sequence of corners.

The RRS glove range offers different options, allowing drivers to choose the combination of features and price that suits them.

RRS Grip 2 racing gloves — £70.99

The Grip 2 provides an accessible entry point into FIA 8856-2018-approved racing gloves.

Its close-fitting design is intended to give drivers a direct feel through the steering wheel, while its fire-resistant construction meets the relevant homologation standard.

It's an option worth considering when assembling your first competition equipment package or replacing an existing pair without automatically moving into a higher price bracket.

RRS Virage 3 racing gloves — £94.99

The Virage 3 sits further up the RRS range, offering another option for drivers comparing fit, design and specification.

Choosing between gloves is a personal decision. Hand shape, finger length, palm grip and the way the seams feel can all influence comfort, so it is worth considering the individual product rather than selecting on price alone.

RRS Dynamic racing gloves — £113.99

The Dynamic gloves are aimed at drivers who place particular importance on steering feel and comfort.

Their features include:

• FIA 8856-2018 approval.
• Fire-resistant Nomex® construction.
• External seams to reduce pressure points from internal stitching.
• A high-grip polyurethane palm.
• An ergonomic fit designed for dexterity and control.

External seams can make a noticeable difference to how a glove feels during prolonged use, particularly when you're holding the steering wheel for extended periods.

Across the range, the objective is to provide competition-specific gloves with features that serve a practical purpose.

The best glove is ultimately the one that fits your hand correctly, gives you the feel you want and meets the requirements of your championship.

RRS racing boots: precision starts at your feet

Braking, throttle modulation and clutch control all depend on precise movements. Your boots need to fit securely and allow you to operate the pedals confidently, without unnecessary bulk or discomfort.

The RRS range covers different requirements and budgets.

RRS Clubman and Track Day boots — £43.99

For recreational driving and suitable track-day applications, the Clubman boots provide an accessible motorsport footwear option.

They are not FIA-approved racing boots, so they should not be selected for competition where FIA-approved footwear is required. Always check your event regulations before purchasing.

RRS Advanced racing boots — £118.99

The Advanced boots are approved to FIA 8856-2018 and offer a competition-ready option for drivers seeking homologated footwear.

Their features include a fire-resistant inner lining, anti-slip motorsport sole, reinforced toe area and secure ankle fastening.

These are practical details to consider when comparing racing boots. Sole grip, flexibility, ankle comfort and fit all contribute to how a boot feels behind the wheel.

RRS PROLIGHT professional racing boots — £199.99

At the higher end of the range, the PROLIGHT boots provide an option for competitors looking for more advanced race footwear.

The design includes:

• FIA 8856-2018 approval.
• Premium soft leather construction.
• A thin bi-material sole designed to provide pedal feel.
• A reinforced heel cup.
• A raised rear sole to assist heel-and-toe movement.
• An ankle cut-out to improve mobility.
• Quick-lace fastening and an adjustable ankle strap.

The combination of sole design, fit and construction is particularly relevant for drivers who spend long periods in the cockpit and want precise pedal control.

As with any racing footwear, fit remains critical. A boot that allows accurate pedal movement and feels comfortable over an entire event is a better starting point than choosing purely on appearance or brand name.

RRS fire-resistant underwear: the layer closest to you

Racewear underwear can be overlooked when planning an equipment budget, but it is an important part of a driver's protective clothing system.

Worn beneath a suitable race suit, FIA-approved fire-resistant underwear provides an additional protective layer. It also needs to remain comfortable during long periods in the cockpit, when heat, perspiration and restricted movement can become noticeable.

The RRS range includes ONE, FLEX and PROLIGHT options, allowing competitors to consider different product specifications and levels of investment.

RRS ONE Racing Top — £75.99

The ONE Racing Top is manufactured from fire-resistant Nomex® fibres and approved to FIA 8856-2018.

Its lightweight construction, close fit and moisture-management properties are intended to support comfort beneath your race suit while providing an additional protective layer.

RRS ONE Racing Bottoms — £74.99

The matching bottoms complete the lower-body layer of the underwear system.

Fit is important here, too. Underwear should sit comfortably beneath your race suit without creating unnecessary bulk or restricting movement.

RRS ONE fire-resistant Nomex® socks — £34.99

Race socks complete the base-layer package. Their fit matters inside a racing boot, where excess material and creasing can contribute to pressure points and discomfort.

Together, these products provide an accessible way to assemble an FIA-approved underwear setup.

For drivers looking for a different specification, the wider RRS range includes FLEX and PROLIGHT alternatives, subject to product availability.

Always check the homologation of the individual product and your championship regulations before purchasing protective equipment.

How does RRS compare with other motorsport brands?

Price is an important part of the buying decision, but it should never be the only consideration. Homologation, construction, fit and intended use all matter when comparing motorsport equipment.

RRS gives competitors another range to consider alongside established brands. The following examples compare selected UK retail prices.

Product	RRS price	Comparable market example	Market price
Grip 2 FIA gloves	£70.99	Sparco Land FIA gloves	£79.19
Dynamic FIA gloves	£113.99	OMP One Evo X FIA gloves	£177.00
Advanced FIA boots	£118.99	OMP Sport FIA boots	£118.96
PROLIGHT FIA boots	£199.99	OMP One Evo-X FIA boots	£320.24

Prices include VAT and are based on selected UK retailer listings checked in October 2026. Prices and availability can change. These are examples of retail price positioning, not claims that the products are identical in construction, features or performance.

The comparisons show that RRS occupies a range of price positions rather than simply trying to be the cheapest.

The Grip 2 gloves are competitively priced against the selected Sparco Land listing. The Dynamic gloves are £63.01 less than the listed OMP One Evo X gloves, while the Advanced boots are priced almost identically to the selected OMP Sport boots.

At the higher end, the RRS PROLIGHT boots are £120.25 less than the selected OMP One Evo-X

Those differences are worth considering when putting together a racewear package. However, the right decision still comes down to the exact specification, fit, intended use and requirements of your competition.

We believe that is the sensible way to buy motorsport equipment: compare what you're getting, not just the badge on the outside.

What could the savings mean for your motorsport budget?

Motorsport costs add up quickly. Between entry fees, fuel, tyres, servicing, travel and preparation, every equipment purchase needs to be considered.

If you find suitable equipment at a lower price, the difference can go towards another part of your competition programme.

Using the selected prices above:

• Choosing RRS Dynamic gloves at £113.99 instead of the listed OMP One Evo X gloves at £177.00 represents a potential saving of £63.01.
• Choosing RRS PROLIGHT boots at £199.99 instead of the listed OMP One Evo-X boots at £320.24 represents a potential saving of £120.25.

Combined, those two examples represent £183.26 in potential savings.

These are illustrative price differences between selected products, not a guarantee of equivalent performance or specification. Prices may change, and product availability can vary.

For one competitor, the difference could help cover an entry fee. For another, it might contribute towards fuel, servicing or the next set of tyres.

The point isn't that the most affordable product is always the right choice. It's that you should be able to consider a serious alternative without assuming that a familiar logo automatically represents the best value.
